Question
Our 1 yr old male shitzu was crate trained and did well - but for a while now he is peeing in several spots in the house when out of the crate. He also pees outside in little spurts all over the place! I know he in part is marking but that much? He is not neutered could this be a cause?

Answer
Follow up on UTI? for the little shih tzu???
Do you think it may be a urinary infection?
Let me know if you do take him to the vet....
I love follow ups:
